“New Blood” is our weekly feature spotlighting new bands from around the world! See below for info on how to submit. Now, check out some killer new shit…

Band name:
ANINOKO (MY SHADOW)

Date & location formed:
July 2014 in the San Francisco, Bay Area.

Reason for forming:
We formed out of friendship, the desire to play fast hardcore punk in our native languages and the lack of an outspoken, immigrant Filipino presence in the local scene.

What are your lyrics about?
Our lyrics are about Diaspora, misguided funds donated to Typhoon relief efforts, Filipino Martial Arts and the displacement of indigenous communities.

How would you describe your sound?
We play fast hardcore influenced by Los Crudos with a lil bit of What Happens Next and some mid era Dead Ends (80’s Philippine Hardcore band) with lyrics completely in Filipino dialects.

What’s in the future for this band?
We hope to put out a 7 inch split with another Pinoy punk band from the east coast, hopefully tour, write more and see where it goes from there.

What’s in the future for this band?
We are hopefully putting out our first proper demo tape this August of 2015, and playing our first out of town show on September 22nd in Western massachusetts with G.L.O.S.S. (not sure when this feature would be running but figure that was worth mentioning if its before that date.) other than that, playing lots of shows both in and out of New York, hopefully putting something else out not too long after the demo.
